Forty Hadith: The Noble Qur'an

Supplication Which Should be Read After Reciting the Noble Qur’an

أَللّهُمَّ إِنِّي قَدْ قَرَأْتُ ما قَضَيْتَ مِنْ كِتابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلى نَبِيِّكَ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ رَبَّنا. أَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مَنْ يَحِِلُّ حَلالَهُ وَ يُحَرِّمُ حَرامَهُ وَ يُؤْمِنُ بِمُحْكَمِهِ وَ مُتَشابِهِهِ وَاجْعَلْهُ لِي أُنْساً فِي قَبْرِي وَ أُنْساً فِي حَشْرِي وَاجْعَلْهُ مِمَّنْ يَرْقى بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ قَرَأَها دَرَجَةً فِي أَعْلا عِلِّيِّينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمِينَ.

O’ Allah! Surely I have recited that which You have decreed for me to recite from Your Book which You sent upon Your Prophet, may Your prayers be upon him and his family so then (all) praise belongs to You, our Lord. O’ Allah! Place it (the Qur’an) amongst those people who keep permitted that which You have made permissible, and who forbid that which You have made forbidden and who believe in the clear and apparent verses and the ambiguous verses and make it (the Qur’an) an instrument of love in our grave and an instrument of love when we are raised up and raise the person who recites the verses, a stage from the highest of the high, through Your Mercy, O’ You who are the most Merciful of those who are able to show mercy.
